Pension advice and retirement planning

A richer retirement

Introduction

Plan a retirement you’ll love

Retirement brings daunting questions: when might I stop work? What can I afford to spend, now and in future? What if things change?

At Richmonde Laine, we take this complexity – today’s priorities, tomorrow’s dreams, disparate assets and ever-changing tax rules – and create one clear plan for the future.

So, whether you’re still working or have already stepped back, you can answer the most important question of all: how can I live the life I want?

Questions on retirement

What do you want from retirement?

We can guide you through the big questions, exploring when you might stop work, what you can afford to spend, how much you should hold back.

  • Should I consolidate my pensions?

  • Can I draw income from my investments?

  • Do I have enough?

  • What lifestyle can I sustain?

  • Are my savings working hard enough?

  • How to draw tax efficiently?

  • Should I start gifting?

  • How much risk should I take?

  • How do I pass on my wealth?

Our approach

Security across every life stage

Every retirement is different. And each has different stages: at first, you might travel or work part time; later, you might need more support.

We look at your personal situation, from pensions to property, responsibilities to ambitions, to explore how life could look across the years. Planning which assets to use first and how to work tax efficiently, we create a flexible, forward-thinking plan to leave you feeling confident – whatever the future holds.

  • Retirement objectives

    Define the lifestyle you want and the options you’d like to keep open

  • Income strategy

    Efficiently draw what you need from pensions, ISAs, investments, cash

  • Investment approach

    Balance growth, income, access and risk, across different life stages

  • Scenario planning

    Test against market volatility, spending choices, inflation, the unexpected

  • Your legacy

    Plan early for inheritance tax, estate planning and wider family priorities

  • Regular review

    Keep your wider wealth plan on track, even as life and laws change
